Deleted data from iphone thanks to itunes synchronisation

Yesterday, without realising it, I synchronised my iphone (thanks to this automatic synchronisation service offered as a default on itunes, grrrr) to my husband's itunes account which had NOTHING on it. I have now lost everything on my iphone, including apps, photos, purchased itunes, saved contacts, everything. The setting on the iphone has gone back to basics. Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to recover everything that itunes deleted from my iphone? I have searched through itunes and my iphone, and there is nothing that specifically answers the issue of accidentally deleting data from iphone due to itunes synchronisation. HELP!

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred via the iTunes sync/transfer process from a single computer only.
Even with iTunes set to sync an iPod or iPhone automatically when connected, when connecting an iPhone to iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync with the iPhone, a warning message is provided along with a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first, which must be approved.
Contacts on your iPhone are not touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported address book application on the computer which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, which is not selected automatically.
3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on a computer that is logged in with your iTunes account or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, but not the same with music, which can be downloaded once.

HT4623 recovering deleted data from iphone

How can you recover deleted data from iphone 4, my phone was compromised and data was delted pictures text messages and emails.

If you didn't backup your photos you cannot recover them.
Search Google for products that might do what you wish. This is not an Apple issue and not appropriate for this forum.

Sync Data from iPhone back to iTune

Because of my computer being formatted, all data has been lost. What I want to do is sync back all my data in iPhone to new iTune without changing any data in my iPhone. What should I do?

First things first, always do a backup. You can not copy from any iDevice back to your PC, you can thank apple for this and DRM. Google copy from ipod to computer. There is 3rd party software that will do this, some free and some paid.

You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.

Having Trouble getting data from iphone 4 to itunes so I can ultimately transfer to 4s.

Original itunes machine is dead, so I deauthorized all machines and authorized current machine and couldn't sync items from phone to machine. Apple then told me to uninstall itunes and reinstall, have done so but still can't get it to sync all items from phone to itunes library. (It only synced purchased songs, none of the apps) I want all the data on my phone to go to my computer, not what is on computer but can't get there. Any suggestions?

Media sync (music videos, etc.) is 1 way. Computer to iPhone. Items purchased on the phone can be transferred using File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes. If you have music on the phone that was synced to it from another computer but not purchased from iTunes, you will either have to use the backup of your old computer to get it on the new one, as suggested above, or invest in 3rd party software to extract it from the phone.

I need to delete data from iPhone 4 I purchased from an individual but don't have the password. How can I bypass that?

I bought an iPhone 4 from a lady who failed to mention she could not do a hard reset because she didn't know the pass code. So now I need to delete this lady's information from my iPhone but I have already entered the wrong pass code 9 times. Any way I can bypass this pass code thing? Since I did not buy it from the apple store I have no warranty or support. Please any and all information and suggestions are greatly appreciated

You'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
Critical note: the seller set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need her to erase the iPhone through her iCloud account and then remove it from her account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
If she won't or can't do that, then you have purchased a high-priced fancy brick and should get your money back from her.

Well, I struggled with setting up an iPod last year for my mother using my sister's laptop and had to figure out how to NOT sync my sister's music...my mother was not thrilled with her tastes
Once you have struggled through that you don't forget the pain.

Hi,
You can transfer the purchased content from your iPhone to iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
The other music would have to be imported into iTunes again. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209 provides more information.

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up-but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. Please help

I need to recover deleted data from my iPhone 4S but don't have a recent backup. I thought by pressing sync on my macbook this would back up…but I was wrong. There are no backups on my macbook and the latest backup on iCloud was Jan 2012. My mum died in May and I had lots of text messages that I wanted to keep. I really want to get them back. Is there any way at all I can get that deleted data from the phone?

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.
Best.

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos. Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows. Sync is unselected. It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work. It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases). If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only wipe your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

My Iphone 4 crashed and I lost my entire contact list. I restored it to original factory settings but in trying to restore my data from my laptop via Itunes.. this was the feedback: Itunes could not restore the Iphone Dr Johnny Siu Chong because the Iphone refused the request.
I cannot get help from Apple support because i am being asked to supply the serial number which is stored on the phone and I cannot restore my data in the first place. I am reluctant to "Set up as a new Iphone" since I don't know whether if I do I may not then be able to access my data from Itunes...
Please advise what to do. I did not see any tutorials on Youtube to help me with this.
I look forward to an early response.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

How can i retrieve deleted photos from iphone if i did not sync them with itunes

How can i retrieve deleted photos from iphone if i did not syn them with my itunes

If they were photos taken with your iPhone and you have Photo Stream activated through iCloud they are in the cloud. If not - they are in the wind.

Delete photos from iPhone iOS 7

I cannot delete photos from my iPhone since I did the update to IOS 7. I've searched the internet for answers, but nothing works! Maybe I don't understand how photostream works, but it seems as though I have the same photos on my iPhone multiple times and to delete them, I have to do it one by one.
Please help!!
Thank you

If it were the regular Photo stream, the album would be called "My Photo Stream", so it is not rhe Photo Stream you are looking at, but a regular album or an album syned from your mac.
Have you ever synced the iPhone and iPad wit your computer using iTunes with iPhone Data Eraser? This really looks like the album "Photo Stream" is an album that has been synced to your iDevices using iTunes. Then they can only be removed by syncing again with iTunes, selecting to sync photos, but deselecting all photo albums in iTunes.
If it is a regular album, however, try to find the photos in your camera roll and delete photos from iPhone permanently. Then they will also vanish from the album. And photos, that have been edited, cannot be deleted at all, unless you revert them to original.
You can delete multiple photos off camera roll. Simply open the album "Camera Roll" (or which ever album contains the photos you wish to delete) and hit the edit button in the upper right hand corner. Touch the photos you want to get rid of and a red check will appear on them, then hit the delete button to delete photos from iPhone.
